As a Renaissance High student in Boise ID, Braden Platt looks just like any other person on the outside. But since he was a child, Braden Platt has struggled with Schizoaffective Disorder and knows nothing different from the everyday struggles that come with it. Going from nationally ranked swimmer, straight A student to depressed, suicidal teenager at rock bottom – his assent back to “normal” life has taught him more than anything else possibly could. As long and difficult as this journey has been, however, it is not over for him yet. Hopefully, sharing his life story and showing his brave will be the final step in the completion of his redemption.
